Thing is that I only have basic tools at home plus the car is parked on gravel with no hardstanding available to jack up and remove the wheel. but I can get a soldering iron from work to see if I can melt the plastic.
If I can get the pipes back on, and as long as not too much coolant flows through the crack I wonder if MikkyJayne can get the car up on the lift again although I am busy for the next few weekends.
Either way the D3 maybe off the road now for a few weeks, but I still have the Volvo as a working car (albeit that has its own issues).
